Stars Pay Tribute

Actor Vindu Dara Singh wrote in his social media post, "Rest in peace our teacher and guide Madhumati ji. A beautiful life led filled with love and blessings from so many of us who learnt dancing from this legend".

Akshay Kumar wrote, "My first and forever guru. Everything I know about dance, I learnt at your feet, Madhumati ji. Har ada, har expression mein aapki yaad hamesha saath rahegi. Om Shanti."

Madhumati Compared to 'Helen'

Madhumati was born on May 30, 1944, in Parsi, Maharashtra. She had a passion for dancing from the beginning. This is why, at a young age, she mastered styles like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Manipuri, and Kathakali in the world of classical dance. Her grace and flexibility were such that audiences began comparing her to Bollywood's iconic dancer Helen.

Madhumati herself said with a laugh in an interview, "Helen was my senior and a friend. People used to compare, but it never bothered me. We just had a similarity in looks."
